Gas price in Md. up 55% this year

AAA Mid-Atlantic is reporting that the price of a gallon of regular gasoline in Maryland has risen 55.1 percent between Jan. 1 and June 1.

The Maryland average ticked up another cent Tuesday to $2.46. The good news, if you can call it that, is that Maryland prices have not passed the $2.50 mark, as they have in Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia.
